Spring Break and Other Fun Pictures

This is a picture of what my boys think they need to do on one of the first warm days in Idaho! They got off the bus and Carson and Colton were already on the roof so Quinton and Kade decided to join them.  So of course I had to take a picture and then tell them to never do it again! The following pictures are just some fun in the sun!





For spring break we flew on an airplane with all 6 children and went to Arizona to visit my mom who has been living there for the last 3 months.  It was our Christmas gift from her (airfare to AZ). Here are a few things we did while we were there.  Above: Jeremy and Kennedi swimming,  the kids did alot of swimming!Below:  This is a picture with one of the cast members from the Easter Pageant we went to at the Mesa Temple.  The pageant was awesome, the only problem is it was the first thing we did and after a long day of traveling we were all very tired.  Colton didn't even see most of the pageant, he was sleeping soundly on grandma's lap.

 We went to a place called Rawhide the kids rode a mechanical bull, rode on the back of a stagecoach, climbed a rock wall, saw a gunfight, and went to a petting zoo.  They had a ball!

 Then we went to old town Scottsdale and in the park they had some Indians explaining their culture and doing Indian dances.  It was a very decorated park with lots of fountains, and sculptures.

 Then we went back to the temple during the day so we could get some pictures on the grounds and walk around.  This was probably Jeremy's and my favorite part of the trip. The Mesa Temple looks alot like the Hawaii Temple.




 The last day we went to a huge zoo and aquarium.  It was a fairly cool day and we didn't have to fight the heat.  This is Quinton getting attacked by some baby goats in the petting zoo that were hungry and he had food!  We had a good trip and the kids traveled really well!  But it is funny how many strange looks you get when people see that you have 6 children with you.  Oh Well,  we love our family and we are thankful we had the opportunity to take them on a trip like this.  However,  it was definitely not a trip that you come home rested from!  We are exhausted!  But no rest for the Hall family,  we arrived home to good weather which means it is time to get going in the fields!!

Probably Should Post Something!

It has been a fun and crazy 4 months since I last blogged.  The Holidays were great and we had alot of fun with family and friends. January brought just plain craziness with Quinton taking driver's ed, Quinton and Kade taking Hunter's safety, Quinton going to Honor Band in Blackfoot for 2 days, and everything else in between taking care of the other 5 children.  Things just somehow keep getting more busy the older the kids get.  They can dress themselves (except for Kennedi), they had feed themselves (except for Kennedi) which they are eating us out of house and home!, but they are involved in alot more activities and need a driver.  Febuary just went by way too fast! Jeremy turned a new leaf and got a puppy (indoor) for the kids for Valentines day! He is a miniture dashaund and very cute and cuddly. Mckenna absolutely loves him, so we will see how it goes with an indoor pet! Here are a few pictures to share!





 Mckenna all dressed up for her Young Women in Excellence night, they had all the girls dress up in formals! She is very beautiful, but I wasn't ready to see her like this just yet!
 Grandma Chandler's 80th Birthday Party with all her children! My mother-in-law is the 2nd from the left.
 Thanksgiving my mom got all the girls breast cancer awareness t-shirts.
 Kennedi with Santa not the happiest little girl but not screaming either!
 Kennedi posing for the camera.  Carson wanted his picture taken with his train and then Kennedi had to have a turn. Isn't she just the cutest girl you've ever seen?!  I think so!
 Trip to Island Park with Ty and his family and Heather to find some snow and do some sledding.
 Amanda and I took a Photography class together and I cam home and used Kennedi as a model to practice my depth of field.
 This picture is suppose to say "WE Love You!"  but the models got a little carried away with their poses but still cute.  And no I did not pick out their outfits, somethings just don't deserve the fight and you just throw your hands in the air and say Oh Well!



Puppy pictures will not go in order sorry they are totally backwards but you get the point!
